Review titled Great service and attention
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mrs Patricia Fuller - Posted on 26 March 2024
I entered by ambulance with infected colon, every test was done and the doctors and staff could not have been more kind. They did all they could to make my problem easier to cope with and I can honestly recommend, and thank everyone who dealt with me, from the doctors, nurses, and everyone else who looked after my needs. they had lots of smiles and nothing was too much trouble for them. I went home feeling confident that they had done all they could to help me over the crisis. A big thank-you once again Ipswich Hospital, I really appreciate your dedication.

Rated 5 stars out of 5

I was referred by my opticions for having very high pressure in my left eye. I received a hospital appointment within 2 hours, received a diagnosis and given medication to reduce the pressure. I left feeling much better. Thanks for everyone who looked after me.

I was on Saxmundham Ward & Shotley Ward and my stay was very much helped by all the staff from kindness to empathy and general care. They all seem to work so well as a team and I cannot praise them enough .

Review titled Abysmal
Rated 1 star out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 04 February 2024
I’ve been to A&E 6 times now since December with the same issues, left side chest pain, feeling weak on left side and generally just not feeling right in myself at all- I’ve had 5 ECGs done all normal, normal bloods etc. There have been no further tests done, no interest in doing further tests and no referrals. I just keep being told that it’s my anxiety and to go home or contact my GP. On several occasions staff have been quite rude and made me feel ridiculous for coming in for chest pains due to me being young and I’ve felt quite discriminated against and not taken seriously due to my age. I have not felt heard, or like I’m being taken seriously at all and I’m terrified something serious is being missed due to this.

Review titled Elderly Care
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Julie - Posted on 06 February 2024
90 year old who had a stroke in November admitted by emergency ambulance after a fall injuring his head. Ambulance arrived at 8.30am, we are still in the waiting room at 4.15pm - 8 hours and 15 minutes for a 90 year old to wait is absolutely ridiculous.

Review titled Brilliant Blood testing unit
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Helen Chambers - Posted on 07 February 2024
So quick, efficient, kind and pleasant to my elderly and infirm father. Such a relief, as hospital visits are hard work on the elderly, what with the stress of parking etc. However, we'll be having all our blood tests taken at the unit here from now on, rather than the GP surgery, because of the kindness and thoughtfulness shown by all staff we met - and so much quicker!

Review titled Great practice
Rated 4 stars out of 5
by Kim Eastall - Posted on 04 April 2024
I entered Gastroenterology from Accident and Emergency. I was in terrible pain and the staff were superb. I was probably quite a challenge at times, whilst they tried to get my pain under control and my medication sorted out! Throughout my 9 days in Hospital, I was treated with the utmost care and consideration. I will remember several of the nurses with great affection!

Review titled Bad reception process
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 18 February 2024
I arrived at A and E experiencing severe leg pain,the man just inside the door questioned me and said my symptoms sounded like cramp.I had a line of people behind me so the conversation was overheard.He then lifted my leg and twisted it around causing me severe pain in my knee which was swollen. Having had X-rays and a consultation with the orthopaedic Dept it had a very different diagnosis to cramp! I was embarrassed by this man’s attitude as I felt he trivialised my symptoms and should not have tried to examine me in full view of other people.All other service i received was satisfactory
